Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Hi,
I'm trying to install suse 10.0 (64 bit) on a dell dimension 9100. Installation procedure seems to go well - except for the fact the YasT doesn't recognize my monitor (a dell 1905FP) and set it as a generic VESA - but at the end, at the first KDE login, I see only wrong colors and wrong resolution (only a left-high quarte of the desktop is visualized in the whole monitor).
Booting in failsafe mode, if I access to Yast by the shell, I can do everything but if I select "graphic card and monitor" the system stop.
I think problems are related to the monitor or to the graphic card (an NVIDIA GeForce 6800).
